The document specifies the requirements for wine farms to achieve WWF Conservation Champion status, including an IPW audit score of at least 70%, a completed carbon footprint baseline, and a signed environmental management plan. Benefits of the program include the use of the 'sugarbird and protea' label, access to funding for conservation initiatives, and technical support from WWF South Africa.

• To qualify as a WWF Conservation Champion, applicants must meet several best practice criteria: an independent IPW audit score of 70% or more, completion of a baseline carbon footprint via the 'Confronting Climate Change' calculator, demonstration of leadership in water, energy, or biodiversity conservation, and the co-development of a signed environmental management plan with detailed targets.
• The program provides participants with specific incentives, including the exclusive use of the WWF Conservation Champion 'sugarbird and protea' label for wine products, potential funding for on-farm conservation projects such as camera traps and walking trails, and free extension support through technical workshops and assessments.
• Water stewardship is framed as a four-step journey for farmers, moving from becoming 'water aware' and understanding sources and usage, to implementing best practices at the farm level, and finally contributing to water management within the wider catchment.
